Emmanuel Macron is closer to winning another term at the helm of Europe’s second-largest economy as nationalist leader Marine Le Pen runs out of time to narrow the gap between them before the presidential runoff ballot on Sunday.

Both candidates are holding their last rallies in areas where they came out on top in the first round two weeks ago -- Le Pen chose the northern Hauts-de-France region. Macron is in the southern town of Figeac.
